"There's one at the post office," said Frank, "but I never saw any one
look at it unless it was very cold or very hot."

"Perhaps we can find one nearer than the post office," said Uncle
Robert. "Susie, would you know one if you saw it?"

Susie shook her head.

"I would," said Donald.

"Well," said Uncle Robert, "please go to my room, and if you find a
thermometer bring it to me."

Donald soon returned, and when Susie saw what he had in his hand she
exclaimed:

"Is that a thermometer? I never saw anything like that at the post
office."

"Well, I should think not," said Donald. "This isn't much like the
old thing they have up there."

"What does it say?" asked Uncle Robert.

"Sixty-eight degrees above zero," said Frank, taking the thermometer in
his hand.

"That isn't cold, is it, uncle?" asked Donald.
